Stories Mother Told: African Folktales

Today's story is one I haven't heard in a very very long time. I remember the first time I heard it, the sun was just starting to go down and we had just finished playing tag. My neighbour was sat outside and before long us kids were sat at his feet listening to stories. I recently came across it again on www.worldoftales.com and had to share with you.

So Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy. Let me take you back to Africa

What is Stories Mother Told: African Folktales?

Stories are a big part of the African culture and growing up in the city of Port-Harcourt, these stories shaped my childhood. Times are different now and these bedtime stories which were passed down through generations are not as popular with children as they once were. This podcast aims to bring these stories to the new generation of African children and introduce everyone else to these wonderful stories from the motherland. The lessons and values learnt from these will never be forgotten. Welcome to Stories Mother Told.
